Rear Bar Installation
Before You Start
This sway bar kit requires Hotchkis Trailing Arms (p/n 1302) to be installed beforehand. You
will not be able to install this kit using stock trailing arms due to end link interference.
:
1. Raise Rear of the Vehicle
To properly install the rear sway bar you must have the rear suspension at ride height.
Please use a 4-post lift or alignment rack to raise the vehicle. If these are not available,
you may use floor ramps to gain access to the underside of the vehicle. Floor ramps
can be found at most local auto parts stores.
2. Install Hotchkis End Links
Lube the polyurethane bushing surface on both dogbone end links. Look at your
dogbone and notice that the bushing sleeves on each end have different inner
diameters. The trailing arm bolt will use the small sleeve and the sway bar bolt will use
the large hole. Use the 7/16” x 4” bolt to attach the end link to the trailing arm. The
bolt should be pointing inboard. Use the 7/16” SAE washer (small) on the bolt head
side and the 7/16” USS washer (larger) on the nut side. Do not fully tighten at this
time.
